Snakes and Ladders - Pilot

[Deleted]

It's another pair of threes.

You are still 18 away from the next bomb square however now there are 2 snakes up ahead with rolls of 6 or 10.  Take $2,600 or roll Raymond?

[basketball32]

I’m gonna roll.

You rolled a three this time, just missing that ladder that would have taken you a long way up.

You have added another three hundred bucks to the bonus pot but you are basically in the same boat as you were prior to this roll - a couple of snakes ahead but no bomb squares to worry about at the moment - stay or roll Raymond?

roll on

Oh no, you have rolled a 7 and landed on the snake on square 36.

Well Raymond the bad news is you are back down to the first level and now have a bonus of only $600. The good news is you are still in it and could potentially still win that hundred grand. There are lots of bombs up ahead though. You can quit now and take $600 or roll again. If you roll a 5 or a 12 now, it's game over. Stay or roll Raymond?

Ok, it's a nine and you are safe for now at least.

There are now 3 bomb squares in play if you roll again but you would climb that ladder up to square 42 if you could roll a 6 next - $1,500 if you quit now - stay or roll Raymond?

Nicely done! A seven this time gets you past those two bomb squares that were ahead of you on that row.

Danger and reward is in play on this next roll.  A 4 or another 7 this time and the game is over. A 10 sends you back down to 10. Rolling a 6 though would be wonderful as you would climb all the way up to square 76! That's 3 potentially bad squares versus only 1 good one - you can avoid the stress and quit now with $2,200 or go for it and roll again. What do you say this time Raymond?

[basketball32]

I’m gonna keep going.

You rolled a 6 and have climbed the big ladder! - (audience claps)

Oh Raymond, we're into some serious cash now. You are only 24 away from $100,000 but now you are risking a nice chunk of change. There is a bomb and a snake up ahead but also a ladder that could bring you to within 1 of the big money. Do you want to stop and take the $7,600 or roll?

[basketball32]

I think I’m gonna stop right here.

[Deleted]

Well I can't say as I blame you as that is a nice bunch of money right there.

Raymond and I will be back momentarily to wrap things up, right after these words! - (cue music with audience applause - fade to commercials)

We are back to wrap things up here on Snakes and Ladders and I'm with our champ Raymond Weaver who decided to stop and take the money in our Bonus Round rather than risk it for a chance at the big dough. I am curious why you chose to stop at that moment though Raymond - you had just dodged a bunch of bomb squares and seemed to have the finish line in sight - what made you stop at that particular time?

[basketball32]

It was one of those things where I felt a bomb was coming up, and I always live by it’s better to have one in the hand then two in the bush.

Fair enough and good words to live by I suppose. You certainly profited from it!

Your total for this show is fourteen thousand two hundred fifty dollars! - (cue music and applause)

My thanks to both Raymond Weaver and Nels Snesrud for being on our show today and my thanks to all of you as well for watching! Jack Thompson here wishing you a life filled with few snakes and many ladders! Until next time, farewell! - (roll end credits)
